HOW WEBSENSE WORK


HOW WEBSENSE WORK

We have discussed what is websense in the earlier post,in this post we will see the working of the websense.Websense Enterprise works in conjunction with a Master Database of 2.2 million Web sites (comprising 400 million pages) that fall into one of 65+ categories. The user can configure Websense to monitor or block sites in each category. In Websense Enterprise 4.2, administrators can allow users to continue surfing or defer access to sites in a particular category until after work.Sites are first mined through proprietary software techniques and then classified into categories. Sites not categorized by this method are evaluated by qualified Internet analysts for proper categorization and continually checked for accuracy.
Websense uses the IP screening technology so that if any one try to access the web directly,it will be filtered using this technology.Websense do this by
pre-converts all domain names in the database into IP addresses.So it also eliminates the possibility of someone accessing a site directly via the IP address and bypassing the Websense database.
